When reduced twice acetic acid will turn in ethanol (via ethanal).
C2H4O2 + 4H+ + 4e- --> C2H6O + H2O
The reversed reaction is more 'natural' (breakdown by oxidation)

Does acetic acid turn to gas at room temperature?
The main compound in vinegar is acetic acid. It does not turn to a gas at room temperature.
Benzyl alcohol and acetic acid?
Benzyl acetate
Why it is more useful to make ethyl acetate with acetic acid and alcohol rather than using other compounds like ketene alcohol or acetamide alcohol?
because it does not react in acetic acid
Formation of ester from acetic acid?
Acetic acid when reacts with an alcohol forms an ester, CH3COOH + C2H5OH = CH3COOC2H5 + H2O
What alcohol and acid make up ethyl acetate?
ethanol and acetic acid.
Is vinegar an example of alcohol?
No, vinegar is actually a solution. It's acetic acid, which is a compound, mixed with water, another compound. Acetic acid consists of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; water consists of hydrogen and oxygen.
